Sinopsis
From the DJ: "A Vision of Eden, the first collection in book form of Marianne North's fabulously detailed and exotic botanical paintings, also contans excerpts from her autobiography and vivid travel memoirs.... North, who usually traveled alone during the late nineteenth century, was a pioneer both in terms of her lush and wildly colorful artistic style and in the scope of her farflung journeys.."
